I worked out this little ‘Ho, Ho, Ho’ pattern for my sock on the train on the way home from Black Sheep Wools last weekend.

It is worked from a chart which can be found on my blog, together with full instructions.

I used the Candycane Christmas sock yarn but this would also work really well on a plain sock if you have some spare contrasting sock yarn. I would work one round in the contrast colour, work the seven rounds of the chart and work one more round in contrast to make the lettering stand out.
